The new owner's representative of Hapoel Jerusalem, Michael Davis, appeared in the stands for the first time yesterday (Wednesday) and was present at his team's impressive 70:95 victory over the Ukrainian Promitei as part of the first game in the play-in series in the Champions League.
After the game, Davis took time to talk to the media.
During the conversation, Davis explained his doctrine and talked about the vision that he sees the club run in the coming years.
Davis opened his remarks: "If everything goes like this game, it will be great fun. Everyone who was here saw something extraordinary. I saw the best basketball I have seen in my life at all levels, an amazing display of talent. The season did not start properly, but now the team "In an amazing run. I want us to always be in the first place and with the help of the name we will continue to lead Jerusalem to the highest places."
On the goals for the future: "It is very important to see how to build an organization in a good way. Resources are not the only thing. We succeed with a much lower budget than our great rival (Maccabi Tel Aviv, YM).
We work on the best ownership method.
It's not like Bob Kraft, but there are a lot of people working here.
Chomsky, for example, understands the media in Israel more than I will ever learn, is an important asset to the group and will do everything for it.
We have good diversity in management, even with past players.
The managers of the organization need the support of the owners in order to be successful and know how to use their financial resources wisely. "
His personal plans: "People stay in management as long as they have good things to offer and give. I do not believe in management for life, in corporate life a lot of people manage. As long as I make a contribution to management I have to stay in charge. I was not a big player and I do not even know "A little bit of what the management knows about professionalism. It's very exciting that I have the opportunity to manage, and as long as I contribute it will continue. We want to learn and where we can help. I will not change things that work, it will be very arrogant for me to act this way."
